Gorilla Breath
Gorilla Breath
Also known as: Grh
Overview
Gorilla Breath is a highly potent indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica, 20% sativa) bred by Humboldt Seed Organization in California. Created through crossing the legendary Original Glue (Gorilla Glue #4) with OG Kush Breath (OGKB), this strain represents a pinnacle of modern cannabis breeding, standing out as one of the top-ten hybrid crosses in the United States. The strain produces oversized, fluffy rounded neon green buds with long light orange hairs and an exceptionally thick coating of chunky bright white crystal trichomes that make it impossibly sticky to handle.
Gorilla Breath has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community, taking home 3rd Prize for THC Flower at the 2021 Commonwealth Cannabis Competition. With its resin production well above average, the strain has become a popular choice for making extracts and concentrates. The buds exhibit a frosty, diamond-like appearance due to their abundant trichome coverage, which hints at the strain's exceptional potency and the intensity of effects it delivers. The dense, compact structure of the buds is characteristic of its indica heritage, while the complex genetic lineage contributes to its impressive cannabinoid and terpene profile.

Growing Information
Gorilla Breath is moderately challenging to grow, making it suitable for experienced cultivators. The strain thrives both indoors and outdoors, with indoor flowering time of 65-70 days (9-10 weeks) and outdoor harvest time in mid-October. Indoor yields range from 450-600g/m² (1.4-2oz/ft²), while outdoor yields can reach an impressive 2500-3500g per plant. Plants can grow quite tall, reaching 5-8 feet indoors and 3-4 meters (10-13 feet) outdoors, so adequate space and height management are essential. The strain responds well to topping and low-stress training (LST) techniques, which can increase yields and manage height. Extra branch support is recommended due to heavy colas development. The plant requires proper lighting (minimum 18 hours during vegetation), temperature control (70-85°F/21-30°C), and humidity management (50-60% during veg, 40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold and maximize resin production.
